ZAND is making waves with their self-branded version of ‘ugly pop’, and their latest EP 'SEWERSTAR' is a continuation of their unique and refreshing sound.
Ash are back with an album full of tracks that will take the listener on a captivating journey, five years since 2018's highly acclaimed Islands. Their new full-length 'Race The Night' sounds so fresh it could very easily be a chart topping album - it was certainly worth the wait.
Although Sweden is a powerhouse pop-churning nation, an up-and-coming Swedish alt-pop star must be on everybody’s radar. Boy Destroy has already received a lot of praise from across the press - and the hype is well deserved.
On 'RUCKUS!', Movements have made a disturbance. A chaotic, all over the place album lashing out with anger but basking in love. Movements, as always, are bringing you along for yet another emotionally charged ride.
Learning how to live whilst navigating the difficulties life throws your way is hard enough sometimes. But letting go of those bad times in order to pursue a more positive future is a completely different lesson to learn. On their fifth full-length, 'LEARNING HOW TO LIVE AND LET GO', Aberdeen born indie-rockers The XCERTS are our teachers, parents, friends and peers, helping us through the trials and tribulations of life and coming out better on the other side, as we let go of the baggage preventing us from living our lives.
Royal Blood are back. One of the UK’s hottest rock bands have just dropped their fourth LP. Ever since their self-titled debut which shook the UK music scene, the duo of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher have just gone from strength to strength, - so how does their fourth album 'Back To The Water Below' fair?
'Dial M for Meds' is an album that analyses what it is like to be an outsider. Full of personal tropes, the band do not shy away from owning their experiences, illustrating personal success in overcoming addiction and being an outcast. With sick riffs, dirty basslines and drum grooves that rivals 90s rock and grunge bands, there is so much going for this band; Taking Meds are a band to keep an eye on. They are bringing back the 90s and making it stylish.
On 'Dead Club City', Nothing But Thieves have thrown themselves a creative curveball and have executed it to stylish, tasteful and classy degrees of success. A world where you need a pass to get into the DCC, an 80’s disco synth party where its members are dressed in The Matrix getup, a place where the dark reality of the downsides to fame and fortune are all too prevalent.
Finding the right balance of melody and raw power is no easy task. Fortunately Throw The Fight are a band that have had no such struggle. Since their inception two decades ago, the Minnesota natives have accrued fans all over the world with their infectious choruses and mosh-inducing riffs. Despite having their fair share of line-up changes over the past few years (including the departure of guitarist/vocalist James Clark, leaving bassist/vocalist Kade Kastellitz to front the band full-time going forward), Throw The Fight appear to be firing on all cylinders as they line-up their fourth full-length album, 'Strangeworld'.
The title of Yellowcard’s new EP, 'Childhood Eyes', couldn’t be more appropriate. Their first new release since a surprise return last year sees the pop-punk veterans revisiting the sounds of their past, to make something contemporary, and ultimately quite brilliant. This is a true statement of intent, and an excellent way to set expectations for this most unlikely of comebacks.
